Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2203: Chapter 2201: One Shade of Black Conceals a Hundred Beauties

Jiang Yichun’s mouth twitched, he decided to continue playing the role of the poisoned mute husband.

After they left, the shopkeeper’s eyes flashed with cold light, and he glanced at the young attendant beside him. Then he turned around to the backyard, tied a note to the messenger pigeon’s leg, and sent it off.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun were unaware of all this. The two of them found a secluded spot and quietly entered the Space.

The previous day, only the two of them had checked into the inn, and suddenly having such a big child with them would definitely raise suspicions, so Bai Ruozhu let Little Dengdeng stay in the Space for a while.

Little Dengdeng, being a child, pestered his parents saying he wanted to stroll around the market. Bai Ruozhu thought the child was indeed feeling cooped up, and she also needed to understand the city’s situation, so she agreed.

Then the two of them changed their attire, disguised as a small merchant couple, and only then brought Little Dengdeng out from the Space.

When they entered the Space, the attendant who was tracking them passed by the place. As a result, he lost track of the two. Bai Ruozhu didn’t open the ”big screen” in the Space, so she didn’t know they were being followed.

The family of three was particularly happy strolling in the market, as if they had left all worries behind. Seeing no one paying attention to them, Jiang Yichun secretly reached out to hold Bai Ruozhu’s hand. Bai Ruozhu’s body tensed, then her face revealed a sweet smile.

Though they were an old married couple, just this simple act of holding hands still made her blush and her heart race. Her palm felt warm, numb, and tingly, almost like an electric current passing through.

But he didn’t hold her hand for long before Jiang Yichun let go and explained, ”I’m afraid of passing the curse to you.”

Bai Ruozhu gave him a reproachful look and dominantly grabbed his hand, saying, ”It’s already passed, what is there to be afraid of?”

In her excitement, her movements were a bit big, and she didn’t expect to be seen by two wealthy young ladies walking together on the street. One of them covered her mouth to laugh with a round fan, and the similarly dressed girl also laughed quietly, whispering, ”Look at that merchant’s wife, she’s so uncouth, pulling and tugging on the street, and her husband doesn’t look that impressive, yet she seems so deeply in love.”

”Maybe she’s never seen a handsome young man.” The girl with the round fan whispered.

Bai Ruozhu heard them clearly and found it amusing. If these two had seen her husband Achun’s true appearance, how could they have said such things?

Of course, she didn’t mind at all. She wished other women would think her man was ugly, so they wouldn’t look at him so much.

Jiang Yichun also heard their conversation, and now his face turned even darker. They had changed their clothes and disguised their appearances, but his face was still dark!

His wife had said something about how a dark complexion hides a hundred beauties, only when he was dark could he conceal his handsomeness and not be recognized.

”Why is the man so dark, isn’t he the one who goes out for business, sunbathing and soaking in rain every day?” The girl said with disdain, pulling her companion to avoid them and went to another street.

Little Dengdeng unhappily watched the backs of the two girls, muttering, ”They’re the ugly ones.”

Bai Ruozhu was surprised that her son also heard, seeing his puffed-up little face, she teased, ”Why is Dengdeng angry? Don’t you want to reason with them?”

”No.” Little Dengdeng turned his head, puffing out his little chest, ”Didn’t you say, mom, if a dog bites you, can you bite the dog back? I won’t stoop to their level.”

Bai Ruozhu was stunned upon hearing this. How little they were, and they already remembered her saying that. It seemed she hadn’t said that to Dengdeng.

It seemed she once said that to Yizi, but unexpectedly Little Dengdeng remembered it in his heart.

This child would be something special in the future!

”A promising child.” Jiang Yichun sincerely praised, then gave his wife an approving smile. To raise such a good child, of course, the credit goes to the child’s mother.

Bai Ruozhu felt a bit embarrassed, this saying sounded somewhat like a bad influence on young children, talking about dogs and such, it was just a way to curse in a different form.

However, in terms of her son’s mature mentality, Bai Ruozhu felt very gratified.

After wandering around enough, the family of three returned to their temporary lodging.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, they heard painful screams. Little Dengdeng scrunched up his little nose, ”Mom, is it Uncle Tang Feng? What’s wrong with him?”

Bai Ruozhu felt it was necessary to explain to her son. She patted Little Dengdeng’s head, saying, ”He accidentally got addicted to others’ Five Stone Powder, it’s a kind of drug that causes addiction and brings extreme pain once involved. You must never touch it, no matter when, and be careful not to be tricked by others.”

At this moment, Tang Feng’s painful cries sounded again, and Little Dengdeng was scared into trembling, then firmly said, ”Mom, I understand, I’ll be careful in the future!”

Drugs harm individuals, whether in modern or ancient times, they should never be touched.

”You take Dengdeng back to the room first, I’ll go check.” Bai Ruozhu gave Jiang Yichun a look, it’s enough explaining, staying further might scare the child.

She withdrew her hand from his large hand, her palm already damp with sweat. All the way, he held her hand tightly, never letting go.

Tang Feng’s screams sounded again, and Bai Ruozhu quickly turned and ran over.

Inside the room, Tang Feng was tied to a chair, yet he still struggled, causing the chair to jump. Gao Zhou and Jianqi were securing the chair he was tied to, lashing it to the bedpost.

”We can’t knock him out anymore, he has to rely on willpower to get through it, otherwise there’s no use.” Gao Zhou said when Bai Ruozhu came in.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, going over to examine Tang Feng’s pupils. Tang Feng suddenly jerked his head trying to bite her hand, like a beast out of control. Bai Ruozhu quickly evaded, seeing the once gentle Tang Feng tormented like this was truly painful.

”He once took a large dose of Five Stone Powder, which almost killed him, so the addiction runs deep.” Gao Zhou continued, he had more experience with treating Five Stone Powder addiction compared to Bai Ruozhu, who hadn’t encountered Five Stone Powder in her past life and hadn’t studied it while researching poison, so her experience was limited.

”Princess Fu’an is truly insane!” Bai Ruozhu said through gritted teeth.

Then she took out some calming incense and lit it, ”Perhaps this will ease his discomfort.”

Gao Zhou disapprovingly said, ”That scent is for suppressing your curse, it’s rare, especially since we’re outside now, don’t waste it.”

”He’s a friend, from the same hometown too, seeing him like this is really distressing.” Bai Ruozhu shook her head, ”We’ll look for the medicine after we leave here, I’ve also asked the Commerce Association to help acquire it.”

Gao Zhou couldn’t persuade any further upon hearing her, he sighed helplessly.

After a while, Tang Feng’s shoulders and wrists had rope marks from the hemp rope, but fortunately, his screams gradually dwindled until he finally fell into an exhausted sleep.

”Come on, let’s talk.” Gao Zhou gestured to Bai Ruozhu and walked outside.
